Background practice?!? Except I got really lazy so this is messy/half-assed and the room looks so empty with blank posters. OH WELL.
Oh yeah, and Dirk and Jake are just hanging out like bros do and talking about feelings because I think that’s what bros talk about.

Its funny because if tony stark became a llama then almost the exact plot of Emperor’s New Groove would ensue
THE COMMENT FUCK I’M DYING

Tony as Kuzco
Steve as Pacha

“Thor, are you talking to that squirrel?”
“PULL THE LEVER THOR!”
“WRONG LEVER!”
OH MY GOD I WANT THIS
I DEMAND THIS

THIS MUST HAPPEN
it is the boy. he has eaten this pancake. he will never come back to us now.
TRUTH TALK: this is the best Hellboy story Mignola ever wrote
Classic
I love Mike’s work to death, but I do worry if he’ll ever top this.
EDIT:
ALSO
I AM IN THIS COMIC
LIKE SERIOUSLY, THOUGH. as my scripting professor back in college pointed out to us on like the third day of class, it’s basically the perfect Hellboy story in that it tells you everything you need to know about Hellboy as a character:
- it’s 1947, at an air force base. ominous post-war undertones.
- Hellboy is obviously some kind of crazy-looking demon monster, but he’s also a little kid wearing human clothes and hugging a dog, so he’s not inherently evil by nature.
- he’s being raised by the government. not an easy life, but they’re trying to make it work.
- he’s still learning about life on the mortal plane, and he’s wary about trying new things, but Earth is definitely growing on him.
- meanwhile, in hell, millions of demons writhe in despair. hellboy is a very important figure to the forces of darkness.
- Hellboy has turned his back on his birthright as hell’s chosen son because he likes and wants to fit in with the mortal world. this is his central conflict. every dumb abomination whom he fights hates him for this, that he chose to grow completely against the grain of who he is destined to be. in the end, though, were the pancakes worth trying? yes.
it’s not the most complex or the most accomplished story he’s done, but it’s the single most concise summary of what the entire run of Hellboy (the comic) is about. it’s also proof that Mignola is probably a better writer than you’ll ever hope to be.
